In this life, she should not be fated with him.
Just like that, Su Qi thought about it and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, Su Qi placed a recliner in the courtyard and basked in the warm sunlight. Zilan was playing the zither at the side while Lü Rao lit up the incense that Suqi had made herself. She also started brewing tea while Yuyan was quietly looking at the account book at the side. The snow that had fallen earlier had already been swept clean. A few plum blossoms were blooming brilliantly. They were red and beautiful. In the courtyard, the four beautiful girls were doing their own things in harmony.
Yu Yan recorded the accounts fluently and skillfully. Su Qi looked at the Yu Yan that she had raised with her own hands and felt gratified.
As for the sales of those cosmetics, they were also extremely popular. The money flowed into her pocket like water. When she saw the pile of silver, Su Qi was grinning even when she was sleeping. It seemed that he had underestimated the importance that women placed on their looks. However, it was still ancient times. The women here had nothing else other than relying on their beauty to rely on men.
Perhaps it was because Su Qi was too explicit and her eyes were too fiery, Yu Yan noticed it. She stopped what she was doing and looked at Su Qi.""Miss, what are you looking at?"
"Look at my Yuyan. She's grown up and knows how to do accounts. It seems like I won't have to worry about the butler in the future.”Su Qi smiled and teased Yu Yan.
Yu Yan blinked her bright eyes playfully and said,""Then Yuyan will help Miss manage the accounts for the rest of her life, okay?”
"That won't do. I'm just afraid that you'll blame me for ruining your life. Moreover, your five brothers are not to be trifled with. I still have to rely on them to support Miss. So, Yuyan, don't worry, I will definitely help you find a good man.”
"What is a good man?" Yu Yan pouted. Unless he doesn't mind me going out to work, doesn't mind that I earn more than him, work busier than him, and have less time than him, otherwise, there's no need to talk about it.”
At this moment, Lü Rao poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Su Qi. Then, she poured a cup for Zi Gan and Yu Yan before saying,"Yuyan, oh Yuyan, once you say this, which man will dare to marry you? I think you want to be an old lady.”
"Then don't marry her." With that, Yu Yan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, her face full of enjoyment. "Sister Lu Rao's tea is getting better and better.”
Su Qi agreed with him. "Not bad, Lu Rao has improved a lot."
Lü Rao smiled embarrassedly at Yu Yan and Su Qi's praise. "That's because young miss taught me well. If it wasn't for young miss 'guidance, Lü Rao wouldn't have known that this tea could be boiled and drunk like this, making the fragrance of the tea even richer and more perfect.”
"Girl, you only know how to say nice things.”
However, Yu Yan agreed with Lu Rao's words. In her eyes, her young miss was an omnipotent figure. "It really isn't big sister Lu Rao exaggerating. Young miss is the most powerful person Yu Yan has ever seen.”
Su Qi only smiled at Yu Yan and Lü Rao's praise. In fact, these were just because of her past life. In terms of power, there were many people here who were truly powerful. For example, the supreme ruler of the Xili Dynasty, Xili Yuan.
"By the way, why haven't I seen Father these two days? Is he very busy?”Suddenly, Su Qi remembered that she had not seen Ye Chen since she returned from the palace.
As soon as these words were said, Cyanose's mind was immediately confused. His fingers became flustered, and the quality of the zither naturally lost its standard.
Su Qi could not help but frown when she saw the three helpless girls in front of her. She seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. For a moment, the courtyard became quiet. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of leaves falling to the ground. At this moment, Su Qi sat up, and her expression turned serious.
"Speak."
A stern voice rang out, and the three of them couldn't help but be stunned. They stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.
Lu Rao was the first to recover. She knew that this matter couldn't be hidden from her miss. So she said," General, you were sent to Licheng by the Emperor a few days ago. He said that there were bandits from nowhere who robbed people's homes and occupied their land. He wanted you to go and destroy them."”
After knowing the reason, Su Qi felt a little puzzled. Logically speaking, such a small matter shouldn't be up to Father. He could just send a general. Why would he alarm Father?
Yu Yan looked at the change in her Miss 'expression and knew what she was thinking. "Miss, I heard that Licheng had sent many people to encircle and suppress them, but they all returned in defeat. This alarmed the emperor, so the emperor sent the general to end the battle quickly.”
After hearing Yu Yan's words, Su Qi felt that it made sense, so she didn't ask further.
Even so, Su Qi still felt a faint sense of unease in her heart. She did not know why.
Su Qi was very worried about her father, but she was at her wit's end. She even began to think that she should be like those female protagonists in novels and start to cultivate her own power. However, how could it be so easy? Not to mention that he did not know anything about these things, and he did not have anyone he could trust. In addition, he was a political idiot. Even if he had such power, he was afraid that it would harm him and his father.
Yu Yan looked at the worried Su Qi and thought about how she could make her miss forget about these things. "Young miss, why don't we take a stroll on the streets? Although it's already past the Lantern Festival, the streets are still much livelier than usual. It will be difficult to come out of the palace in the future.”
Hearing Yu Yan's suggestion, Su Qi looked at the three girls standing in front of her. Seeing the concern in their eyes, Su Qi couldn't help but feel warm.
However…Su Qi suddenly thought of that figure, that demon-like person.
Forget it. He didn't know that " Ye Qi " was Ye Suqi anyway. He just hoped that she wouldn't come out and cause trouble. Su Qi pressed her hand on her heart and spoke to the soul that remained in an unknown place.
Not long after, the Ye Seventh Young Master appeared once again, bringing Yu Yan and a servant dressed in cyanosis out of the door. Lü Rao didn't go, saying that she wanted to stay behind to prepare the things to enter the palace.
When Yu Yan arrived on the street, she was like a wild horse that had lost its reins. She dragged Su Qi and Zi Gan around. Looking at clothes, picking out jewelry, and eating street snacks. At first, the cyanosis did not allow his Miss and Yu Yan to go crazy together, but in the end, he dragged Su Qi along with Yu Yan and ran all over the streets.
It had been a long time since Su Qi had gone shopping like this. This time, she went crazy with Yu Yan and Zi Lan. It was only when the sun was setting that the three of them realized that their hands were already filled with spoils of war.
"I can't take it anymore. Let's find a place to rest.”He was exhausted after a day of cyanosis.
Su Qi was still alright. After all, she had some martial arts, but she was also a little tired. Only Yu Yan didn't feel anything. It seemed like she hadn't had enough yet. However, when Yu Yan saw how tired her Miss and her cyanotic sister were, she agreed to rest and eat something.
Previously, the food in Mingyue Restaurant was very delicious, and Su Qi could not forget about it. Now that she was out, she naturally went to Mingyue Restaurant first.
At this time, Mingyue Restaurant was the busiest time of the day. When the three of them went, the hall was full of people. There were no empty seats, and the private rooms were even more crowded. Not only that, but there were also many servants waiting downstairs, as if they were queuing up for their master.
"What should we do, Miss? Should we wait?”Cyan asked the waiter in the shop and was a little disappointed when he found out that there was no private room for the time being.
With so many people waiting, it would probably take four to four hours. Su Qi knew that there were no seats available for the time being, so she thought that it would be good to go somewhere else. "Then we can only come back next time. This time, we'll go somewhere else first.”
Cyan and Yu Yan nodded, and the three of them walked towards the door. At this time, the shopkeeper rushed over and stopped Su Qi and the other two. "May I ask if this is Young Master Ye Qiye?"
When Su Qi heard this, she looked at the shopkeeper with some doubt and asked,""Yes, I am. However, what is the meaning of this?”
Seeing Su Qi nod, the shopkeeper leaned back and said,""Young Master Ye, please forgive me. I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that my boss wants to invite you to a private room upstairs.”
"Who is your master? Why don't you come out and see for yourself?" Towards this shopkeeper, Cyanosis was somewhat wary.
Su Qi did not reply. At this moment, Yu Yan whispered into Su Qi's ear and reminded her,""Young Master, the master of this Mingyue Restaurant should be Premier Xiao without a doubt.”
Premier Xiao! When Su Qi suddenly heard this name, her originally calm heart was instantly stirred up. Her heart trembled and she instinctively wanted to reject him. However, she thought about it and realized that there were some things that could not be resolved by running away. Moreover, she had a partnership with him. Hence, Su Qi nodded and agreed to the shopkeeper's request.
Anyway, it was just a deal between Ye Qi and Premier Xiao, so there was no harm in meeting him.
"Shopkeeper, please lead the way." The thoughts in his heart turned a thousand times, but in the end, they turned into faint words.
When the shopkeeper saw that Su Qi had agreed, he quickly brought them up to the third floor. When the manservants who were waiting anxiously downstairs saw this scene, they couldn't help but complain. However, when they heard that the owner of the Moon Tea House had personally sent someone to invite them, they immediately shut their mouths in embarrassment.
The third floor of the Bright Moon Restaurant was only open to a few people. Those who came here were all people of noble status. Su Qi admired Xiao Chengzhe's ability. After all, this was an era of scholars, farmers, merchants, and businessmen. Merchants were at the bottom of the list, and they were the ones that people could not see clearly. However, Xiao Chengzhe did not care about the opinions of others. He managed the business well, which was admirable.
At the very least, Su Qi would not be able to do so.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the door. Su Qi pushed the door open and entered. What greeted her eyes was still that familiar figure. Although he did not have the enchanting red dress, the white clothes in front of her made him look even clearer, as clean as a newborn baby.
Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Xiao Chengzhe felt conflicted and worried. He had heard from Mei that he had Ye Qi's whereabouts and was currently strolling on the streets. When Xiao Chengzhe heard that, he felt a sense of hatred and depression in his heart. She had been looking for him for the past few days, and he did not come to find her immediately after he returned. If she had not endured it, she would have rushed up to Ye Qi and asked him about it.
